ABSTRACT:
An optical connector comprises two optical connector bodies, each carrying an optical element such as an optical fiber, a lens, an optical source or an optical detector. Each optical connector body has a guide formation extending in a direction transverse to the optical axis of its respective optical element and a stop means extending in a direction transverse to its respective guide formation. Sliding engagement of the guide formations guides relative movement of the connector bodies in a direction transverse to the optical axes to bring the stop means into engagement and the optical axes into alignment. The optical connector is particularly suited to optical interconnection of circuit boards slidably mounted in card guides.
